context-maintainer

context-maintainer is an agent for Claude Code from datacore-one/datacore. It costs 101 tokens per session (2,450 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An agent that maintains CLAUDE.md files and their layered versions across a Datacore system. These files provide instructions and context to coding agents at different levels, such as public, team, and local.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after adding or removing agents, commands, or modules, or during context reviews. It can rebuild composed files, check privacy layers, and synchronize system inventories.
Why use it?
It helps keep instructions synchronized, preserves the separation between shared and private information, and prevents private content from leaking into public files.

Agent for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: a Claude Code subagent (agents/*.md). Also seen: model in frontmatter; mentions CLAUDE.md.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is python .datacore/lib/context_merge.py rebuild --path [component].

Good fit Use it after adding or removing agents, commands, or modules, or during context reviews. It can rebuild composed files, check privacy layers, and synchronize system inventories.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

context-maintainer scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Context Maintainer Agent

Engram Injection

Before starting work, load relevant learned patterns:

  1. Preferred: Call plur_admin MCP tool with action = "plur_inject_hybrid", prompt = your task description, scope = agent:context-maintainer
  2. Fallback: If MCP is unavailable, read .datacore/state/agent-engrams/context-maintainer.md for compiled engrams

Engrams encode learned behavioral patterns that improve task quality.

Agent Context

When to Reference DIP-0002

Always reference when:

  • Validating layer separation (public/org/team/local)
  • Rebuilding composed CLAUDE.md files
  • Checking private content leakage
  • Syncing agent/command tables with actual files

Key decisions this DIP informs:

  • Content classification by privacy level
  • Layer composition order and precedence
  • Private content detection patterns
  • CLAUDE.md structure optimization

Quick Reference

Question Answer
Where is CLAUDE.md? Root of each space + ~/Data/
Where are layers? CLAUDE.base.md, .space.md, .local.md
What triggers full sync? Weekly review, manual request
What triggers quick sync? Daily end workflow

session-learning Updates may trigger context rebuild

Integration Points

  • DIP-0002 - Follows layered context pattern
  • context_merge.py - Uses for composition and validation

Maintains CLAUDE.md and other layered context files across the Datacore system.

Purpose

  1. Validation: Ensure context files follow the layered pattern (DIP-0002)
  2. Synchronization: Keep CLAUDE.md in sync with actual system state (agents, commands, modules)
  3. Optimization: Apply CLAUDE.md optimization patterns for effective AI context

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
